The
word of God which the Supreme Pen hath recorded on the seventh leaf of the Most Exalted
Paradise is this: O ye men of wisdom among nations! Shut your eyes to
estrangement, then fix your gaze upon unity. Cleave tenaciously unto that which
will lead to the well-being and tranquillity of all mankind. This span of earth
is but one homeland and one habitation. It behoveth you to abandon vainglory
which causeth alienation and to set your hearts on whatever will ensure
harmony.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
